“Rita and Brian are caring, highly competent dog lovers. My Emmie absolutely loves them, and I always feel 100% comfortable leaving her in their care. An added bonus is how they have worked to help Emmie overcome her reluctance to trust other dogs. I'm very grateful!”
“Kelsey was great! She kept us updated throughout Charlie’s stay. He was happy and tired from playing when we picked him up! I recommend Kelsey, and we will be using her services again!”
“Kirsten and Nicolas were great! They sent pics during the whole stay and were very communicative. They also have a fenced in back yard that they let the dogs run around in. They updated us when the pups appetites were low, which I really appreciated. Both of our dogs tend to be anxious without us because they aren’t used to used to being alone, so it was also a big plus that they work from home. In the past we have had to send our pups to kennels because we don’t have friends or family near by who can watch them. They would be locked in a kennel all day and we would literally have to pay extra for belly rubs or time out of the kennel. I usually feel uneasy the whole trip but not this time. I could tell they were well taken care of and treated like one of their own. Thank you so much Kirsten and Nicolas!”
“Emily sent lots of pictures to let us know how Simba’s stay was going. He tends to be anxious when we are away. But he seemed to be quite relaxed and happy at Emily’s place.”
“Loni did a great job taking care of Hunter! She sent pictures and updates daily. Hunter was very tired after his stay from playing with the other dogs. I appreciated her prompt communication also. Thank you, Loni! :)”
“From the time we dropped off our pup, we shown that she would be in great care. Gary and Heather provided consistent updates and photos as promised. We were told that our pup would be “cared for like one of our own” and our experience proved that. They took our pup to the dog park and the dog beach. As a high energy pup, we could tell she was thoroughly engaged judging by how tired she was when she returned home. We would highly recommend Gary and Heather to give you a peace of mind and your pup a loving home away from home.”
“For the first time ever, I had to leave my dog son for more than a day and I was definitely very uncertain on this whole you know . I couldn’t have asked for a better family to watch over my best friend and care for him like they did. Had me at ease while I was gone the whole time if you’re looking for the same reassurance, I was looking no further!”
“Great communication! Sent lots of pictures and a couple videos. Made me feel like they were treating my dog like family. Loki got plenty of exercise and attention. Great people. Would book with them again!”
“Angela did a wonderful job taking care of Willow. She sent pictures and updates which was much appreciated. Will book with her again! Willow loved their morning jogs together as well.”
“We had a great experience with Leslie & her family! It was our first time leaving Furley for any extended period of time and we were able to enjoy our vacation knowing he was in good hands. Leslie sent daily updates and photos so we never had to worry about how he was doing. He loved playing with Leslie's dog Shiloh so much that I was afraid he wasn't going to want to come home! I would definitely use Leslie again if the need arises & I would certainly recommend her to others. ”
About: Hello!! **Update** I am currently accepting walks for only 6-7am and 8-10pm timeframes. I have several repeat clients that take up the other hours but will update this if things change. Drop ins are same timeframes except for Sundays and Tuesdays I can take on anytime all day. If you are going on vacation please reach out anyways about Drop Ins as if my schedule allows I CAN accommodate for the most part with a month in advance*** :) My name is Christine and thank you so much for taking the time to read my profile :) I used Rover for 4-5 years but I moved and then was working 2 jobs at the time so I took a break and am back now! I currently live in a condo and do not have a yard right now but I’m feet away from a really great park here in Powell. I grew up taking care of many types of animals but more specifically dogs. I have 3 dogs of my own, all different breeds and personalities, which really challenged me to be able to learn and grow with taking care of dogs. I am working on opening my own location for a Doggie Day care business but until then I would like to gain even more experience and slowly earn loyal doggie clients. Mainly available for walks 7 days a week. Mostly open for drop ins 5-7 days a week ! I have a flexible schedule for last min bookings My 3 pets are EXTREMELY LOVED and spoiled! They have their own closets, foods, toys and even a room dedicated to my cats and dogs in case they just need that alone time away from the humans ! They receive the upmost care for grooming and vet clinic as well! My wallet is never happy when it comes to my pets because I just find so many ways to love them and spoil them!
“Emily and Nicholas took great care of our Zsigmondy, Cooper. He was on medication, which they gave to him and also let us know how he was doing. We got lots of pictures which were really cute. We will definitely book with them again. Cooper was much happier at their house than at a local dog daycare/boarding facility.”
“My wife just spent a two weeks in the hospital and Will was a great help in minding our dogs. The dogs were happy to hang out with their buddy Pumpkin and Will took great care of them. The photos and regular updates were most appreciated.”
“Lauren took great care of Zuri! She has a great space for dogs, handled medications/other needs well, was flexible with a last-minute booking, and sent frequent updates and pictures. We will definitely be back in the future!”
“Jasmine did a great job with my pup. He had so much fun with her and her family! She was very communicative and was flexible as we were edtablishing drop-off & pick-up times.”
“We found a treasure when we asked Kelly and Ben to help watch our dog while we were out of town! They love that she wanted to meet our Daisy before we made the final arrangements. That gave us such peace of mind. Our pup walked into their beautiful home, and she instantly felt comfortable. Their home is warm and gave us a feeling that our dog would be so well loved while we had to be out of town. Kelly also showed how much she cared and how knowledgeable she is by asking all the right questions and loving on Daisy like she was already a part of their family. Communication was terrific too! We received pictures throughout the weekend of Daisy on walks and being her sweet and silly self with Kelly’s family too! We are so happy with the experience that we already scheduled another time out of town - knowing that our Daisy girl will be totally spoiled and cared for while we are gone. Thank you to Kelly and her family for loving our dog like we do!❤️”
“Andrew and his family are absolutely wonderful! It was a delight getting to know them, and my dog Bella had a very happy stay while I was away. Highly recommended!”

Dog parents share their Rover experiences - Delaware
Rita and Brian sat for our 16 month old mini Aussie doodle. They watched her in their home and provided excellent care. They sent us lots of photos and text messages regarding their activities. We were really happy with the fact that they took her to dog parks and she interacted with other dogs. They even went so far to work with doing her tricks. Great experience.
Ishlamar was very accommodating and listened to all of our needs for our pup, Sadie. She also was very communicative and sent regular updates with photos throughout the entire weekend. Sadie seemed very happy and healthy when we picked her up. We would absolutely book with Ishlamar again in the future!

Frequently asked questions about Rover
The average cost for Dog Boarding in Delaware on Rover is $33.13 per night (as of August 2026). However, all sitters set their own rates based on experience, location, and availability.
Rover makes budgeting the cost of Dog Boarding easy. As long as your dates and pet profiles are correct, the price you see before you book is the same price you pay for Dog Boarding. For more information on service fees, click here .
As of August 2026, there are 897 sitters on Rover offering Dog Boarding across Delaware. Enter your ZIP code to see which available sitters are closest to your home.
Every sitter on Rover has their own rhythm and routine, but most will follow the flow that keeps your dog happiest. Sitters can give meals on your dog's regular schedule, provide a comfortable place for sleep, and plenty of one-on-one attention.
94% of Delaware sitters also include daily walks in the neighborhood during dog boarding stays. You can also request photo and message updates throughout the stay so you can see which Delaware landmarks or neighborhoods your dog is enjoying.
If your dog is a little shy, consider booking a one-night trial stay! This practice run can boost your and your dog’s confidence before your trip.
Preparing for drop-off is easy when you have a checklist! To help your dog settle into their Delaware home-away-from-home, we recommend packing:
- Health and safety essentials such as their ID tags, vaccination records, medication, and emergency vet or secondary caregiver contacts.
- Food and gear such as harnesses, collars, food (portioned by day), and an item that smells like you.
- Special instructions such as a list of training cues, medical administration needs, or favorite hang-out spots in your Delaware.
Tip: You can upload your dog’s routine and medical info directly onto their profile so your sitter always has the details at their fingertips.
You and your Delaware sitter can schedule drop-off and pick-up in a way that works best for the both of you—and your dog. Most sitters offer flexible times for drop-off and pick-up but the easiest way to confirm those times will be through in-app messaging. Confirm your arrival time the day of pick-up and drop-off can also help keep the process smooth and organized.
The Rover Guarantee is Rover’s commitment to your peace of mind every time you book. It includes 24/7 customer support, sitter access to advice from qualified veterinary professionals for diagnostic issues, and a reimbursement program for eligible veterinary care in the rare event something goes wrong.
All bookings are backed by the Rover Guarantee , which provides up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care reimbursement.
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.
Beyond ID checks, you can review each sitter's star rating, read verified reviews from other pet parents, and see how many repeat clients they have. Every booking is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes up to $25,000 in eligible veterinary care. For more details, visit Rover's Trust & Safety page .
While each sitter sets their own vaccine requirements, staying up-to-date on your dog’s vaccines is the best way to be "boarding ready". Vaccinations help create a safe environment for all pets under a sitter’s care.
Many sitters in OH ask that dogs be up to date on core vaccines like the Canine Parvovirus, Canine Distemper, Canine Adenovirus, Bordetella, and Rabies.
By discussing your pet's health history early, you’re adding a layer of confidence for you and your sitter before the booking begins.
If a health concern arises during a stay, your sitter is instructed to contact you and our Trust & Safety team immediately and, if needed, take your dog to the closest veterinarian. Through our Trust & Safety support team, sitters can ask for diagnostic advice from a qualified veterinary professional if your dog is showing signs of possible illness.
For extra peace of mind, you can also prepare an authorization form for your regular vet. An authorization form outlines your preferred method of care and allows your sitter to bring your pet into their regular clinic.
Every qualified booking made on Rover is backed by the Rover Guarantee, which includes reimbursement for eligible emergency vet care.
